[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1793597, member: 21194"] If you're in the south or southeast, where you won't get docked for some ear, a Brangus bull would be a good option, and will keep the calves black. Otherwise, a Hereford would be good. You'd probably get mostly black calves (with varying amounts of white on the faces, of course) anyway. I wouldn't worry about getting a polled bull if you go with Hereford. Most of the cows probably have enough Angus that the calves will be polled. Slightly off subject, speaking of polled Hereford bulls, that reminds me of something I heard an old cattleman say decades ago about them. "When they bred the horns off they bred the a** off too."
